Brief Answer:
Tinea corporis. Oral and topical antifungal
Detailed Answer:
Hi. Thank you.
I have reviewed the Images.
You seem to have tinea corporis i.e fungal infection rather than eczema. I would suggest an oral antifungal e.g tablet Zimig 250mg (Terbinafine) once daily for 2 weeks.
Topically you may use Zimig cream (1% Terbinafine cream), twice daily for 2 weeks.
An oral antihistamine e.g tablet cetrizine 10 mg once daily in evening will provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
